Which is why the end recipient of the message suspected/accused of being
spam must submit the entire message, or at least enough to substantiate
the claim that it is spam, to their ISP and/or the sender's ISP, and/or
the abuse addrress for the sender's domain.
Any other claim doesn't have sufficient evidence on it's own to prove
spamming.
